Previously MOT: Cables For Less
In all honesty, I bought it purely for appearance's sake. It was an opportunity to make a good looking cable for not much money. The next one I make will definitely be function over form though!
Not a problem and I am glad you did not invest a lot in it. I try to follow the logic on why they build certain wire a certain way. Generally I only see silver plated wire in high end RF uses. If Belden builds it, there is usually a good reason for it. (skin effect)
We have five senses, (some say seven but i won't get into that). Sound is important to me but so is appearance and feel of a cable so I respect those things as well. I even had one customer who talked about the smell of silicone wires before, she would call me to order stinky red cables.
